Dental Hygiene Clinical Practice 2 (DHYG 2210)

This course will enable the learner to integrate foundational knowledge, and further develop the attributes, and psychomotor skills required for the provision of preventative, therapeutic, and supportive person-centered dental hygiene care while utilizing the ADPIE process of care. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of evidence-informed decision making into dental hygiene practice, including the recognition of client values and the influence of the determinants of health on oral and overall health. Practicing as a member of a health care team, the learner will begin to develop communication, collaboration, and practice management abilities to deliver culturally safe, inclusive, and relevant care. Learners provide dental hygiene care for clients from a novice to a beginner level by the end of the course.
